Behind Bangladesh's garment boom, workers cut food, healthcare as wages fall short

price move active 95% Energy

Garment workers in Bangladesh say low wages and rising living costs are forcing them to cut back on food and healthcare, while workers have demanded a monthly minimum wage of 30,000 taka. Protests and clashes with police led to hundreds of factory closures, and the government has agreed to implement a revised wage structure from December but has not yet set the increase.
